Olivia, don't let it bother you. I went through a similiar situation with my mother in law. Both of my boys are adopted and were born in Guatemala. My oldest son is has more typical coloring of the country (Spanish/Olive) and my younger son is very white. When my oldest came home, my mother in law was forever putting sunblock on him and keeping him covered so he wouldn't get any darker. AND, when my youngest arrived, she made no bones about who her favorite was by saying "Oh Nicky is so much cuter." Well it wasn't that he was so much cuter, it was he was so much whiter. Let it roll off your back. BTW, my oldest is now 13 and has more girls after him. LOL. My youngest is only ten so he's not interested in girls yet. LOL. Elaine |
